I’ve spent £52k on body modifications & split my tongue – trolls call me a ‘demon’ & are stunned by my before pics
AN INFLUENCER who has spent £52,000 on body modifications says she has never felt more beautiful.
Orylan, who has 143,000 followers on Instagram, started transforming her body aged 14.
Now 26, she has covered most of her body with tattoos, inked her eyeballs and even had surgery to split her tongue.
But while Orylan is obsessed with her extreme look, not everyone is as accepting.
“Most people will say I should have never changed myself but beauty is subjective and I believe the way I look now is the beauty I’ve always wanted to achieve,” Orylan told NeedToKnow.
“I think I can be beautiful in both ways but I am much more myself in the skin I am in today.

“My most extreme modifications are my tongue split my tattooed eyes and my implant in my hand.
“I don’t have a goal of looking like anything in particular.
“I go day by day, seeing if I want to change or modify something on my body.
“For example, I’d possibly get more face tattoos and I’d possibly tattoo my tongue.
“I don’t model myself on anything I just go by me and how I feel I want to look.”
Orylan, from Las Vegas, Nevada, hit headlines in the past after trolls referred to her as a “demon”.
But the content creator doesn’t let negative comments get to her and she regularly posts photos and videos of her look online.
She said: “When some people see my eyes they stare and point and say nothing, others give me ugly looks, and some will straight up get in my face and say they hate it.
“The craziest reactions are from people online hiding behind a screen.
“They love to say, ‘you look like a demon’ or ‘you were so much prettier before,’ or ‘you must not have had a good childhood’.
Are eyeball tattoos dangerous?
Eyeball tattooing is an incredibly dangerous and rare procedure.
It is unlike other tattoos because it involves injecting ink into the think layer of tissue that covers your eyeball.
The injected ink then spreads throughout the eyelid, however, there is a risk that it could spread beyond the injection sites, and cause permanent damage.
Eyeball tattooing has been banned or restricted in some countries, and many tattoo artists are uncomfortable with carrying out the procedure.
“The only advice I can really give to anyone wanting to modify or tattoo themselves is: do it out of love, do it out of the fact that it will make you happy.
“We should only do things that bring us joy, for me that’s what modifying myself does, so I want that for others if that’s what they chose, nothing but love and happiness.”
Orylan has even claimed that she is able to taste two different foods at the same time - all thanks to her split tongue.
She said: “I tried [it] right when it healed, Coke and Sprite was the first [thing].

“I was confused on the flavour combination.
“[Splitting my tongue] cost only $700 USD (£550) and the process is numbing it with lidocaine and slicing it open, then sewing it back up on each side.”
